re: I thought I'd be proud to be a Mainer this morning.....

Quoting Makennah's Mommy:“ thats what I hold on to as well. Im gay lover. Deanna and Sam are two of the best mothers Ive ever met in my life. I love those girls like no other. I will not ever be against gay marrige..”

Me neither, My brother is gay. He's been with his boyfriend for 6 years and their relationship is better then any relationship I've ever been in.
He also believes in God, And he's probably better with religion then I am.
He goes to church and is just another member of society.
I don't love him any less then if he were straight.
He's an amazing person, And I believe if God is going to pass judgement it should not be on someone who was born a certain way.
That's like saying people born with disabilities are going to hell for being imperfect.
Gays were just born that way.

Quoting trueiscrazy *BCF*:“ ok so maybe gay people shouldnt be married in a church due to religious beliefs but why cant they have ... [snip!] ... rights as a married couple? a marriage union is based on love not religion so i dont know why everyone brings god into it.”

I think bigots use God to spread their hate for anybody or anything they do not like or towards anyone that doesn't believe what they believe. It's sad and shameful.

Quoting The 3M's mom:“ We are in the minority here sweets. I just have to remind myself of James 1:19 when it comes to these "discussions".”

Maybe you're in the minority on BG, but not in the real world... and that is SAD.

Marriage is not and never has been something that is exclusive to Christians, there is nothing to discuss here... marriage for all or for none. I HATE that it is put to public vote, there are too many bigoted fucks left in the world and too many people hiding their bigotry in religion.

I am not a proud mainer either. its love not what gender you are.

That's so shitty. Everyone deserves to be happily or miserably married, no matter their sexual orientation.

Quoting The 3M's mom:“ Who's to say gay's aren't taken over by the devil?”

Thats so sad that people still think this way. I am not religious. I know in my heart that if there is a hire power then he or she will judge us based on who we are as a person, not who we fall in love with.

Quoting £ana ßanana εïз:“ HAHA. You say that but SINCE I believe, I believe that people who DON'T believe are taken over by the ... [snip!] ... me judging...thats what it says. So, ok, let them be gay BUT they will just go to hell for it if they die unrepentant. ”

Honestly if "God" is really that much of a jerk I think I'd be better off in Hell with the devil since he obviously doesn't give a shit if you are gay.

This is why I don't follow Christianity. I don't understand how LOVE could ever be bad or evil.

I posted that in reply to what someone else posted........not because I "believe" that. I just don't understand how some people can look at a situation one sided.

I just wanted you to know I voted NO on 1!
It's crap. The school tatics is what changed voters minds.

Quoting £ana ßanana εïз:“ He doesnt hate love. It isnt love, it is evil. I could care less what anyone here on earth thinks of ... [snip!] ... because quite frankly id rather be in heaven then hell and if God says being gay is a sin and is an abomination than so be it.”

It isn't love it's evil?

That is the saddest thing I have ever heard. Seriously, my heart HURTS. Love is love is love it's not evil.

Quoting The 3M's mom:“ I posted that in reply to what someone else posted........not because I "believe" that. I just don't understand how some people can look at a situation one sided.”

what will happen if your child is gay? with you disown him/her cause its a abomination? cause guess what *wispers* straight, religious people can have gay kids. it happened to my grandparents.

Quoting JC's Mommy!! (Team Pink):“ I just wanted you to know I voted NO on 1! It's crap. The school tatics is what changed voters minds.”

Yeah I know. It was so close too, if it weren't for those stupid commercials it might have gone the other way.

Quoting Hayden,Addisyn&Noahs MAMA:“ what will happen if your child is gay? with you disown him/her cause its a abomination? cause guess what *wispers* straight, religious people can have gay kids. it happened to my grandparents.”

I will love my kids no matter what because they are mine..but that doesn't mean I have to accept the way they live.

Quoting The 3M's mom:“ I posted that in reply to what someone else posted........not because I "believe" that. I just don't understand how some people can look at a situation one sided.”

I guess I just can't fathom that a perfectly good, decent, wondeful, caring person is evil just because they are gay.
